Thanks for the help dude, you know your shit. :91_thumbsup:
The blue hose has kinked, it's not the correct hose, previous owner must've just slapped it on there.
I'll check out those websites and make a few calls on Monday.

How did you go with finding the s/s wound 5/8" hose today? I wouldn't mind seeing if I could get the original cam breather hose from Nissan also depending on price?

I didn't, I worked all day, won't have a chance to look into it until wednesday

Hicas, attesa, gt-st, gt-r, gt-t, R32, R33, R34, R35, evo, wrx, Nsx, type-r, fc, fd, ae86, asashi, sake, sushi. I'm a bit limited with my Japanese. What about t-revs? Fresh from the land of the rising sun? No substitute for experience!

my wife is a japanese teacher who hasnt worked since having kids, but perth is too far away :(

but got 6 bottles of bourbon emoji4.png

Ahh, bourbon/whisky, best cure for any cold or flu, till the alarm goes off at 5:30am the next day. Putting a lemon in the neck of the beer should help out alot also.

yes i agree. 

 

im considering putting honey in a bourbon/coke :)

After 3 months of squealing and telling myself they will bed in. I finally got off my cake hole and chamfered the new front pads. Only the p/s was squealing but I did both to be sure. I took it real easy on them to bed them in and aren't sure why the p/s did and the d/s didn't? Dba slotted rotors and bendix advance pads. Any ideas?

what process did you follow? 

 

i have Q1RM pads. they said to do 2 runs from 60-0 as fast as possible. then 2 runs from 100-0 as fast as possible. i had just skimmed rotors too. never had any noise from them

i have mon-fri off next week. might come visit one day

Ill check out what we have at work tomorrow and see if we have anything like it and let you know. I went with the clear s/s wound so it wouldn't collapse and could see if it was leaving any oil residue or staining inside the tube after the s/s wool packed catch can. Before the air intake to the turbo. I've pushed the car pretty hard on occasions and have had no blow by. Yeay. My catch can is a fully poxy drift one. (from autobahn)
I bought it the day I picked up the car to get rid of the evian bottle and garden hose to avoid a yellow. So for the mean time I put another 5/8" fitting reversed inside the can and ran it to half way in the tank and and cut the internal s/s hose at 45* so it would filter fumes and still had room to dump oil. Will fab up a new one and plumb it in properly from Ali when I have the time. (NEVER) :-(

That doesn't include mandatory morning meetings, and customers not getting the f**k out on time.
My roster very rarely changes, but just in case always double check.

Put the whole lot in new then braked reasonably hard 80-20, 100-20. Only p/s squeal. I mainly chamfered the lead and trailing edge at about 30* with a fine cross cut metal file and just took the edges off very minimally. All good now. Just hate doing a job twice. F##* might not have stood on it hard enough.

Did u check if it was a 5/8" or 16mm fitting? Just put a rule on it like the pic I posted and check the pipe o/d (outside diameter) not the swage diameter. Let me know. I would assume it is but always check.

I was worried about the abs juddering on the new rotors and pads if I hit it too hard so was just a guess.


Try nissan. I've replaced with genuine before and don't remember getting raped

It might pay to put a tiny bit of permatex on the corners and rear. Especially if its leaked bad off the rear exhaust cam side before. This will cop a lot of heat because it is near the manifold, turbo and dump pipe. Just a thought. Check there is no gouges or issues around where the leak was and it seats and Seals nicely. Pay attention to the fit up and get everything hard finger tight first then cross torque the cam cover like you would a head gasket. Clean all of the sealing faces up tidy as with a turps rag and make sure there is no gritty bits hanging around or shit from the rag. Use a soft brush to clean up the inside of the cam covers if it's gritty. Set aside a load of time and don't rush it! Don't know how much mechanical experience you have so just general advice. Nothing worse than dumping the gas pedal to a oily smell. Will be awesomeness once you have finished!

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
